Ab Ke Tajdiid E Vafaa Kaa Nahiin Imkaan Jaanaan
Yaad Kyaa Tujh Ko Dilaayen Teraa Paimaan Jaanaan

Main To Aavaaraa Shaayar Huun Merii Kyaa Vaqa’at
Ek Do Giit Pareshaan Se Gaa Letaa Huun

Gahe Gahe Kisii Naakaam Sharaabii Kii Tarah
Ek Do Zahar Ke Saagar Bhii Chadhaa Letaa Huun

Jis Simt Bhii Dekhuun Nazar Aataa Hai Ke Tum Ho
Ai Jaan-E-Jahaan Ye Ko_ii Tum Saa Hai Ke Tum Ho

Ye Khvaab Hai Khushbuu Hai Ke Jhonkaa Hai Ke Pal Hai
Ye Dhundh Hai Baadal Hai Ke Saayaa Hai Ke Tum Ho

Badan Mein Aag Sii Cheharaa Gulaab Jaisaaa Hai
Ke Zahar-E-Gam Kaa Nashaa Bhii Sharaab Jaisaa Hai

Kahaan Vo Qurb Ke Ab To Ye Haal Hai Jaise
Tere Firaaq Kaa Aalam Bhii Khvaab Jaisaa Hai

Yeh Wafa To Oon Dino Ki Baat Hai *Faraz*,
Jub Makaan Kachey Or Log Sachey Hoa Karte The.

Saaqiyaa Ik Nazar Jaam Se Pahale Pahale
Ham Ko Jaanaa Hai Kahin Shaam Se Pahale Pahale

Khush Hua Ai Dil Ke Muhabbat To Nibhaa Di Tune
Log Ujad Jaate Hain Anjaam Se Pahale Pahale

Ye Tabiyat Hai To Khud Aazaar Ban Jaayenge Ham
Chaaraagar Royenge Aur Gam_khvaar Ban Jaayenge Ham

Ham Sar-E-Chaak-E-Vafaa Hain Aur Teraa Dast-E-Hunar
Jo Banaa Degaa Hamen Ai Yaar Ban Jaayenge Ham

Ye Merii Gazalen Ye Merii Nazmen
Tamaam Terii Hikaayaten Hain
Ye Tazkiren Terii Lutf Ke Hain Ye
Sher Terii Shikaayaten Hain

Main Sab Terii Nazr Kar Rahaa Huun
Ye Un Zamaanon Kii S’aten Hain
Jo Zindagii Ke Naye Safar Men
Tujhe Kisii Roz Yaad Aayen

Ye Kyaa Ke Sab Se Bayaan Dil Kii Haalaten Karanii
‘Faraz’ Tujh Ko Na Aa_iin Muhabbaten Karanii

Ye Qurb Kyaa Hai Ke Tuu Saamane Hai Aur Hamen
Shumaar Abhii Se Judaa_ii Kii Sa’aten Karanii

Vahashat-E-Dil Silaa-E-Aabalaapaaii Le Le
Mujh Se Yaa Rab Mere Lafzon Kii Kamaaii Le Le
